Abstract:
C-Ribosyl imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazines and 3-[2-(3-carboxyphenyl)ethyl]-3,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d][1,3]diazepin-8-ols represent two classes of known AMP deaminase inhibitors. A combination of the aglycone from the former class with the ribose phosphate mimic from the latter led to the 3-[2-(3-carboxyphenyl)ethyl]imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazines, which represent a new class of AMP deaminase inhibitors. The best compound, 3-[2-(3-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthyl)ethyl]imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazine (8), was a good inhibitor of all three human AMPD recombinant isozymes (AMPD1, AMPD2, and AMPD3; IC50 = 0.9-5.7 μM) but a poor inhibitor of the plant recombinant enzyme (Arabidopsis FAC1; IC50 = 200 μM).

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Gabriel Synthesis
Strong bases like NaOH or KOH deprotonate the phthalimide to form the corresponding anion, which acts as a nucleophile. Further, the anion attacks an...
Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
